SUMMARY- This is an English translation of Burda Praxis - Occhi Schiffchenspitze first published by Augustus Verlag in 1998. The patterns are in written notation and not broken down well. There are diagrams and great photography throughout. There are some really exquisite designs with unusual elements like shell motifs and block squares to break up the traditional look of tatting.
